The Yemeni air defenses announced Monday the downing of a Saudi coalition armed spy plane over Sanaa with a surface-to-air missile.

Yemeni Armed Forces Spokesperson Brigadier General Yahya Saree confirmed in a tweet that the air defenses managed to shoot down a Chinese-made CH4 armed spy plane belonging to the Saudi Air Force.

دفاعاتنا الجوية تتمكن -بفضل الله- قبل قليل من إسقاط طائرة تجسسية مسلحة صينية الصنع نوع CH4 تابعة لسلاح الجو السعودي بصاروخ أرض جو محلي الصنع، وذلك أثناء خرقها للهدنة وقيامها بأعمال عدائية في أجواء العاصمة صنعاء.

On his part, the head of the Sanaa negotiating delegation, Mohammad Abd Al-Salam, considered that sending Saudi spy planes into the airspace of Sanaa is a hostile act in violation of the UN-brokered armistice.

In a tweet, Abd Al-Salam warned the countries of the Saudi-led coalition about the consequences of such provocative and aggressive actions.

إرسال طائرات تجسسية إلى أجواء العاصمة صنعاء عمل عدواني يؤكد عدم احترام دول العدوان للهدنة القائمة، ولو أن مسيرات يمنية حلقت فوق أجواء دول العدوان لكانت مواقف الامم المتحدة وجهات أخرى مغايرة، وعليه فإننا نحمل دول العدوان عواقب مثل هذه الأعمال الاستفزازية والعدوانية.

In the same context, Al Mayadeen correspondent had reported a large explosion that shook the Yemeni capital, Sanaa.

On Saturday, the Yemeni military media broadcasted scenes showing a Turkish-made Karayel armed spy drone belonging to the Saudi Air Force that was shot down Saturday by the Yemeni air defenses in the airspace of the Hiran region in Hajjah Governorate.

This is the fourth Karayel drone shot down by the Yemeni Armed Forces.
